Come on in, sit down, light a candle (but be careful of the books---we don't want a fire.)

Here you will find my fanfiction from the 1987-1989 TV series "Beauty and the Beast" as well as fanfiction in other universes (once I get around to getting those posted.) Have some tea, relax and enjoy. And if I've written something that moves you---or even something that makes you scratch your head---let me know.

I've written under a couple of pen names in my fanfic career--if you read anything by Roisin Fraser in the "Star Trek: The Original Series" fandom, that was me. In the "Beauty and the Beast," I write under the pen name of Aliset. The bottom line is, I enjoy writing about these characters and consider them the very best of comfortable friends. I hope you enjoy reading my stories about them too.

Regarding the time-line of my "Beauty and the Beast" stories: the stories I write are Continuing Classic, which means the third season, 3S, The Season Which Shall Not Be Named, or however you wish to describe it, never happened.

2/18/16: AACK. I can't believe it's been almost six months since I posted. :-O First of all, in reassurance to everyone who is still reading, "Inheritance" will be finished. It is not going on hiatus, nor is it going to be an abandoned WIP. I've had rather a lot of Real Life gunking up my fantasy life, but I'm doing my best to get back on a regular posting schedule. While you're waiting for my next chapter, please enjoy this story, which I wrote for last year's conzine. :-)

Hey!! A load of -presumably very good- fanfic that I wasn't aware of until today? It feels like Christmas! I had other plans for next weekend but I might reconsider... Thanks for the link, Carole ;-) Claire

I stopped by to compliment your first chapter at CABB and I saw your candle tribute to Chan and...nothing else seems so important, does it? How sad her passing...your words are beautiful, Krista. Nancy

Just me with a late Thank You for the next chapter of your story at ST. I really liked that paragraph about the river and the follow-up sentence in its own paragraph...being caught up in the river...lovely! Hope all is well.Nancy

I love reading your fan fiction!! I've been wanting to try my hand at writing some myself. I'm a writer anyway, but I've never tried to write stories based on characters that are not my own. (Most of my stuff is narrative non-fiction type stuff).

Also, how does one get involved in Winterfest Online? I would be interested.

And one last thing....have you (or anyone reading this) ever heard the song "Little Lion Man", by a group called Mumford & Sons? They play it all the time on Sirius Channel 1. It always makes me think of Vincent. Google the lyrics to it.

And keep up the good work.....I love that there's a group of people out there keeping the Catherine and Vincent alive.

For information on joining Winterfest Online, you can email the candlemakers at: wintercandlemakers2@yahoo.com. I participated for the first time last year and it was a lot of fun---definitely one of those things that totally stuns you with just how hard people work to make this come off. And there's stuff going on pretty much all hours of the day and night, since our fandom is worldwide.

Well, hi there and welcome, ProvidenceMine :) I have written Star Trek fanfiction, but what's been posted here is the backlog of stories I had written years ago. It'll be "new" to the site (once I get around to getting them all posted, that is) but I'm not writing any TOS fanfic that's genuinely new at this point. My muse has been occupied for the last few years with "Beauty and the Beast" fanfiction, and I don't really know when (or if) I'll return to writing TOS fanfic.

My apologies for not responding sooner but I've been under the weather this week with a bad cold. I am currently 3/4 of the way through the next chapter on "Inheritance" and plan on updating within the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience and your continued reading---I really appreciate it :)
